Would be real ironic if the US sucking so much rear end at containment meant that we got over it faster, if at higher body count

Unlikelly. USA is more like a group of different countries that will get infected and deal with it at different speeds.

Yeah given the physical size of the US. That being said while the US is huge the economic centers are more limited and they’ll be/are being hit the hardest and first.

if you check "Total Coronavirus Cases in the United States" and set to logarithm, it will include a smoothing of the curve. I don't know how that much is a effect of lack of testing or real, but gives some hope.

watch the antibodies you get after recovering from an infection last like 4 months to maximally gently caress everything

My county has extended the stay at home til May 1 but hasn't adjusted exemptions to "essential business" so basically everyone still has to go to work

Also our union hall was letting people pull from their supplemental unemployment fund if they were furloughed so a lot of guys requested a furlough in order to draw that money + unemployment to stay above water. Now the hall has decided you can't get that money if you voluntarily leave work - only if the contractor does the furlough

If the entire world’s population were spread evenly over the entire world’s surface, including the oceans, the population of Australia would quadruple.

But that’s not really relevant to the dynamics of the infection in Australia. Australia is best thought of as five cities clinging to the edge of a continent.

It’s not a hundred times less dense than Massachusetts where it matters.

ok 5,344 per sq km in Boston vs 508 in Melbourne
so only 10x density where it matters

Anyways point is it spreads differently in different places, and not every place is necessarily on the same "timeline", so kinda pointless to compare at the moment when its only just beginning.

When this is all over (lol) feel free to tally up death points per capita and find out who wins though.
